Two-term Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is sparring with state and local officials who say Hogan is not being responsive enough to the coronavirus pandemic
This week, Hogan found himself in the middle of two controversies involving areas affected dramatically by the coronavirus pandemic: schools and elections. Hogan is pushing for private schools to have the option of opening on time this fall, overruling the wishes of county health officials in one suburban county of DC.
"The blanket closure mandate imposed by Montgomery County was overly broad and inconsistent with the powers intended to be delegated to the county health officer," Hogan said in a statement.But Montgomery officials pushed back. Elrich told reporters on Wednesday that Hogan's decision had"no logic.""I was surprised. I don't think it was appropriate. I don't think it is supported by data," Elrich told reporters.
